I don't know if this has really been mentioned, but at least in my city, one of the threats to Blockbuster is McDonalds. All of our McDonalds are now putting in Redboxes. $1 a day renatal, no dealing with people, get food at the same time. When I comes to new renatals, what does Blockbuster have on that? I haven't jumped to video downloads yet, I still perfer media, so Redbox at a dollar a day is really the best choice to me, and appears to be for many others, I have always had to wait in a small line to rent from those.
I love Redbox. I'm an occasional movie renter, as I'm a student and don't have tons of time to watch movies. Netflix is too much per month for how many movies I watch, Hollywood Video (ick) just closed, and Blockbuster is about twice as far from my house as Redbox.
